[wpkg-users] [consult...@kaply.com: [Mozilla Enterprise] MAJOR Change Setting Default Preferences for Firefox 14]

2012-08-03 Thread Marco Gaiarin

From Mozilla Enterprise mailing lists.

I've not tested (i'm still on 10ESR), but... FYI.

Firefox 14
X-Spam-Status: No, score=-4.0 required=5.0 tests=AWL,BAYES_00,GREYLIST_ISWHITE 
autolearn=ham version=3.2.5

In case people didn't see this on my blog:

If you are running into problems with Firefox 14 not honoring values
in you set the default preferences, it's because Firefox preference
files have moved from defaults/pref to defaults/preferences and your
files have to move as well. (See bug 779437.)

Apparently custom changes to the default preferences were supposed to
be there all along, but no one actually knew that (not even Firefox).

So when you are creating JS files for your autoconfig settings or to
set the various add-on scopes values, make sure they are in
defaults/preferences. (You'll have to create this directory.) Note
that this method works fine on Firefox 10 as well. I'll be updating
all my posts as I have time.

On a separate note, the CCK is broke on Firefox 14 - it's not creating
bookmarks properly. I've tracked the problem down to a Places change,
but at this point I am unable to work around it. I've contacted the
developer that made the change that broke me, but I haven't heard
back. Hopefully he'll be able to point me in the right direction.

I can't stress this enough. PLEASE test on Aurora and Beta if you have
the bandwidth to do so. These Firefox 14 issuse should not have been
found after Firefox 14 was released. And yes, I'll admit that I've
been failing in my testing as well, but to be blunt, I'm not paid for
any of the time I spend on enterprise, so it's not one of my top
priorities.

Re: [wpkg-users] Firefox upgrades: Applications default -- Use Adobe Acrobat(in Firefox) instead of Use Adobe X.X (default?

2012-08-03 Thread Pickle

Found out that while upgrading within 10 release - the Application options
stay intact - sorry for any confusion.

 Has anyone ever edited the user.js to stop this change?
 Or on another note - stop auto updates for ESR?
 
 Thx.

 Hi-
 
 Having a mostly good experience w/ Adobe upgrades so far.
 
 At our company - users request that the application - Adobe Acrobat - be
 the default app for opening any PDF's so they can edit/write out files. 
 
 We have Adobe Acrobat on all systems and do not use Reader - or want to
 use the built in(plug-in) PDF capabilities of Firefox or any other
 browser.
 
 Here is the issue - we can't seem to figure out why a change happens in
 Firefox(currently 10.0.5/6) Options - Applications settings...
 
 We see this setting changed by Firefox upgrade:
 
 - Adobe Acrobat document  Use Adobe Acrobat(in Firefox)
 
 Instead of using this setting:
 
 - Adobe Acrobat document  Use Adobe Acrobat 9.5 (default)
 
 Can anyone help us try to alter/change Firefox settings in a programmatic
 way thru WPKG or other means to use the external Acrobat app only and not
 change back on Firefox upgrades?
 Has anyone experienced this issue?
 
 Thanks for your help.
 
 -P
